Learning From Education Leaders

Just finished my fourth roundtable with district leaders today. Here are some quotes worth highlighting...🔦

The school day is not 7:30 - 4:00 pm. Providers have to find a way to support students and parents after hours. Schools simply can't. 💯

Curriculum providers are still thinking of instruction as linear. That's simply not the case. 🤔

Ideally we'd have a unified platform. Integrations are key, as is the ability to just log in and find what you need quickly and easily. 👍

Grading needs to be easier. Providers make it so hard on teachers. Enough already. 🥺

Digital tools and enterprise platforms have to be truly intuitive. And while we're at it, how about enabling student POV for teachers, so they know what the experience is really like on both sides.💡

Don't oversell and under deliver. It keeps happening. 🙄
